Summary: Something I should say about Zeah, she's deathly afraid of storms and, yeah, it stormed today. It's also not the first time she's gotten "lost". As usual, somebody saw her wandering around. She's beautiful, so she always gets spoiled by strangers. The end of the story is that one of my neighbors harbored her. It was somebody upstairs, John & I heard a man open a door and tell Zeah to go outside. She came prancing down the steps as if nothing happened. Apparently he didn't want a confrontation because all the doors upstairs were closed when I went to investigate. So, to the shy neighbor above me: Thanks for saving me hours of walking around, posting signs, and calling animal shelters. :)…To answer the question asked in this post's title, Zeah's middle name is "Houdina".

Summary: She informed me that it's going to cost almost twice as much as she originally quoted me.…Apparently, the engine I need is super popular suddenly & there aren't a big supply of them.…That's great.

Summary: I'm using twitter more and more often. If you use this service, I invite you to follow me @ [link] joejiko for personal updates and @ [link] spinedesign for web related links and my company updates. I noticed that stickam has a feature that embeds twitter chat into their webcam client. I thought it was interesting, maybe I can figure out how to include something like that in my upcoming AJAX chat or on the main site. I still haven't had time to go re-learn flash.…Personal…On a personal level, I've recently had ongoing problems with my car. It's now completely non operational, which means I need to find a new car. I hate car shopping.

Summary: I tried to get a different phone, so the same shit doesn't happen again, but the next phone up ( [link] samsung finesse) is $349 and they wouldn't let me just pay the difference.…Apparently, the Samsung SCH-r450 is quite glitchy…It sucks that I managed to make it fail after only a month and a half

Summary: If I go to sleep early, 2am, I'm getting about 3.5 hours of sleep before my little brother and sister are awake making noise like hell.…This morning, it was like they were trying to fuck with me an make as much noise as possible.…I'm sitting in the bed awake, listening to the sound of clanking dishes which turns into a crash as my dad drops two of them, and then transforms into the thunder of a vacuum sucking up the broken pieces of plate.

Summary: If you ever want to experience American culture, go to a southern rock concert.…I don't remember all the bands, but the big two were Outlaw and [link] .38 Special.…38 Special are the guys responsible for the entire [link] Super Troopers [link] soundtrack.
